Spark Plug Trouble

[Pauly33GTS-t]

I paid 90 bucks for a set of iridium Adz. extortionate. but after 200kms, you forget you spent that much anyway, cause you get f**ked off at the price of petrol instead.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

BCP6ES for <300kw and BCP7ES for >300kw

a full set of spark plugs of $17??? reali? thats wot im talking about!!!

So i have a R33 GTST series to and i need to change the spark plugs, what brand / model should i ask for?? So i can just walk into a store in adelaide and say i want this......

cheers!!!

Yep Buddy... Motor Traders, Edwardstown. BCPR6E. Check the gap as 'sometimes' they can vary a touch.

Last time I bought a set they charged $2.80 each.

Yeah, there dirt cheap Although I use the non-resistive type. Not sure if it makes much of a difference ?

[Adz2332]

BCPR6E

BCP6ES

Whats the difference between the two?

And the brand is NGK?

cheers guys!

They are an NGK plug. I think the S on the end is something to do with tip type ?

Better to buy the ones without the -11 on the end (1.1mm gap), cause otherwise you have to re-gap them. When they don't have a number the gap is 0.8mm

I THOUGHT THE GAPPING SHOULD BE 0.8mm?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Yeah, so if you buy the BCP6ES rather than the BCP6ES-11, then it comes already at 0.8mm, rather than 1.1mm

Ok so i shall buy som NGK BCP6es? ok lol

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Yep, that's what I use. The BCPR6ES are the same, but run a resistor, as explained here http://www.ngk.com.au/faqs_index.htm, but I've never found the need.

hey guys - i think im going to return these champion ones i got ... hopefully they will let me . im after a gap of 0.8 - so which nkg copper plugs am i after? the model number , if any one has the correct info for the specs i need? and the correct heat rating ?

could anyone genuinely tell me that the slight bump i have in idle is because of these plugs? never had it before...

cheers

[Cubes]

I notice an ever so slight roughness or bump as you call it in idle with the 0.8mm gapped plugs. BUT its only ever ever so slight.

1.1mm its baby smooth. 0.9mm which I'm running now appears to be near perfect and ignition doesn't break down.

0.6mm idle is horrid.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I tend to close the gap down if I'm running higher boost, go down to 0.6mm no worries.

[sky-017]

yeah , the whole point i adjusted the gap is because i was having misfire ... it fixed it. but yeah now il have to take them out - and get the nkg ones .... has anyone used champions though - the ones i currently have in?

0.6mm idle is horrid.

hahaha its not THAT bad .. i think - will swap mine over tomorrow and see what it does

had mine at 0.6 to counter the old std coils - but got splitfires in now and did swap to the new ones i got... yet

lol your right its not that bad but it was enough for the other half to ask what I had done to the car.
